Sixteen parties in Turkey have announced that they will boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics

Ahmet Davutoوlu: "We will hand over 100,000 signatures to the UN and the Turkish Parliament"

The Turkish Future Party has written to 20 political parties that are eligible to run in the elections in Turkey on December 3, calling for a boycott of the Winter Olympics in Beijing on February 4 this year. Sixteen of the 20 parties have signed a boycott of the boycott, announcing that they will boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics.

We spoke to Mr. Seljuk داzdag, a former Member of Parliament and Vice President of the Future Party, to find out more. “We have prepared a letter calling for a boycott of the Future Party Olympics,” he said. We have sent this letter to 20 political parties in Turkey that are eligible to run in the elections. We called on them to sign the boycott letter. All but four of these 20 parties voted unanimously. Thank you to them. "Unfortunately, the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), the pro-Nationalist Movement Party (PFP) and the Grand Unity Party are not in power."

Mr. Selcuk داzdag also called on countries around the world to write a letter to the ambassadors of 132 countries to Ankara boycotting the Beijing Winter Olympics. "We have prepared an English boycott letter and sent it to the ambassadors of 132 countries in Ankara," he said. We have called for a boycott of these countries. " Many of these ambassadors have written in support of our party's diplomatic boycott. "

"In 1980, countries around the world boycotted the Olympic Games in Moscow, claiming that the former Soviet Union had occupied Afghanistan," Seljuk Ozdag told our radio. The United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia have announced that they will boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics in Beijing next month. But the Nationalist Movement Party, which is called the Brotherhood of the Uyghurs, and the ruling Justice and Development Party, which is called our brothers, are still silent. We say, 'Come on, let's boycott the diplomatic mission.' "China has human rights abuses and is committing genocide against our Chinese brothers and sisters. We call on the government to boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics. "

What is the reason why the Justice and Development Party did not initially sign the letter calling for a boycott of the upcoming Winter Olympics in Beijing? We called on the parties' parliamentarians and officials to get their views on the matter, but were not immediately available for comment.

Is it possible to pass a resolution boycotting the Olympics in the Turkish parliament if 15 parties sign a letter to 20 eligible political parties in Turkey calling for a boycott of the Winter Olympics in Beijing on February 4? Mr. Hamutkhan Köktürk, a former chairman of the East Turkestan Foundation and a veteran activist, signed the boycott letter, although 15 parties signed it, but the majority of the non-signatory parties in parliament have a large number of members, so it is impossible to pass a resolution boycotting China, but to promote the Uyghur cause. Stated.

The letter was not signed by the Great Unity Party, which has been supporting the Uyghur cause in Turkey since its inception in 1993. Answering our question, Mr. Hamutkhan Köktürk stated that the fact that the party did not sign does not mean that it does not support the Uyghur cause, and that it is possible that they did not sign because of their differences.

"China, the venue for the Olympics, is now committing crimes against humanity," the letter said. The Chinese communist government is committing genocide against peoples such as Uyghurs and Kazakhs. Today, China is one of the world's leading human rights abuses. In the 21st century, the Chinese government is committing about 2 million people to camps, torture, torture, rape and infertility. Therefore, we urge the Turkish parliament to first approve the boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics and call on other countries to boycott it in order for China to immediately stop the genocide.
